There is alot to say about this topic. I am just starting this here. We have a community mailing list that is viewable -- http://groups.google.com/StopNYRI. You are welcome to sign up. I think mailing lists might work better than blogging in some cases. I am willing to try both.
There is a big grassroots movement going on in Central NY -- to fight the powerlines proposes by NYRI. See the website www.nyri.us for the company propaganda. For those unfamiliar, you can read the press-sun bulletin archives on NYRI or just search the web using google.com using NYRI as the keyword. The www.udpc.net site is a good place to start researching the topic. There is too much to learn about for me to tell you here -- it is very well documented on web site for news and blogs, from Utica, NY to Orange County, NY. The powerlines would travel 200 miles along this route.
Unfortunately, little news has appeared outside the upstate area. A couple of Associated Press stories have appeared and have found space in some newspapers out of town, including Newsday on Long Island. Nothing yet in the NY Times.
Many people are upset about the lopsided coverage in the state and where that will leave our area in the opposition of the powerlines. See a very influential blogger in upstate NY -- NYCO http://www.silent-edge.org/wp . I will be pretty formatting some links very soon.
